"Thanks to you, my practice of hypnosis has been transformed I consider the gift offered to me by the client, if I accept it, I take care of it before retuning it, and especially, I take into account the symptom trance.
You showed me that the symptom is not an enemy to defeat but a language to receive. That trance is not something you to to someone; it is something you accompany with care, the way you hold something fragile without crushing it. That is the real work that happens beyond words. Ignorance is not always a refusal to know: sometimes, it is simply the absence of a gaze in the right place.” --Abdoul-Azziz Marenga, student and practicing therapist, France
“These life lessons on cooperative exchange are truly beautiful. You said, “The caregiver receives just as much as the client.” That so true!!! I’ve never learned more about myself than through the people I’ve supported and continue to support today."-- Sarah Desile, student, France "Great jazz musicians listen. Truly listen to hear how to fill what is absent as well as hot to refrain from filling a space that doesn’t need to be filled. You’ve been doing that with people: Intervening the its right and getting to of the way when that’s what is needed." --Scott Shimobukuro, student
